    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    This happens sometimes. Before you insert the device, execute the command: ls /dev/sd?
    Plug in device, and execute the same command after a few seconds. You should see that there is a new drive node in /dev. For example, if you only had one hard drive, it would appear as /dev/sda. After inserting the USB drive, you should see /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The USB drive will be /dev/sdb. Now, you can create a mount point (empty directory anywhere convenient - call it mntdir) and mount the drive like this: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 mntdir
    Voila, you should now have an accessible link to the thumb drive.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
